Well, it is almost 6 months since Mom last took Nutmeg for a walk in the park!
Mom has not been outside - much less walking, until about a month ago.
About 2 weeks ago, Mom graduated from 2 wheel walker to Crutches in the house, at the grocery store and a 4 wheel walker outside for walking.
Nutmeg who is normally rambunctious, is very calm and good when she goes for a walk with Mom. Mom is up to walking to the corner and back 3 times a day. This makes Nutmeg happy, she just wishes that Mom went faster (and further).
Mom is glad that we live in a small quiet town, on a street with little traffic and we makes sure that she goes for a walk when it is quiet. Nutmeg has even been calm when other dogs are on the street.
Taking Nutmeg for a walk is something Mom and the Nutcase both enjoy and both get health benefits! Not only does Nutmeg’s mental health and physical well-being benefit from getting in some exercise, but so does Mom's.
Getting out with Nutmeg is a great way to bond. It gets Mom to take a break from always being so busy she gets in some quality time with her favorite pup and is a terrific way for both to unwind.
Nutmeg is also learning how to be calm, cool and collected and not to pull or let herself get overly excited.
